Literacy   

This week in Literacy we will be looking at famous London Landmarks with Paddington. To help Paddington remember some of the facts, we will be creating our own class guidebook. In groups we will be sorting facts out about Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. The children will then write their own facts from what they have learnt remembering to use capital letters for names of places.

This week in maths we will continue to explore composition of shapes. We will investigate tetromino and pentomino arrangements (how we can create different arrangements using 4 and 5 squares). We will also investigate ways that four cubes can be composed into different 3D models. We will then explore, discuss and compare 3D shapes. 

Phonics and Handwriting  

Phonics: This week we will be recapping all the sounds we have learnt and revising our knowledge of long vowels. We will practise applying these in our reading and writing. 

Science – to investigate the suitability of materials for a picnic blanket for Paddington 

RSHE – to understand that families are different in many ways but that it is love that matters  

Music – to make soundscapes of the fire spreading from the Great Fire of London  

PE – to introduce power and speed when sending a ball. 

History – to order the events from The Great Fire of London. 

On the morning of Wednesday 20th November we will be taking part in our interactive online Great Fire of London workshop. If you would like to help in your child class for the morning please speak to your child’s class teacher.  

Thank you!
